QAIPMT-2011-Ph-1899: NEET 2011 Physics - Class 11 AIPMT-2011-Ph-1899 Solution: When 1 kg of ice at \(0^ C\) melts to water at \(0^ C\), the…
When 1 kg of ice at melts to water at , the resulting change in its entropy, taking latent heat of ice to be 80 cal/g, is
Multiple Choice Options
- A 273 cal/K
- B cal/K
- C 80 cal/K
- D 293 cal/K
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Change in entropy is given by
d S = d Q T _ _ S = _ Q T = m L f 273
_ S = 1000 _ 80 273 = 293 c a l / K
Note : In the question paper unit of latent heat of ice is given to be cal/�C. It is wrong. The unit of latent heat of ice is cal/g.
